It's been a good sketching week. I've got a bunch of quick scenery doodles done, but i haven't posted any of them yet. BUt then i continued to rework my jonah scene. I'm still not happy with it yet. I also started playing with new images to share the message of Jonah's big fish. One of the old images i reworked to include a muskie, the wisconsin state fish. I thought that makes it a little more personal? I really need you guys to help me design a little jonah that fits into the picture that doesn't look like a fly, or detract from the larger image. what do you think. Critique the whole design concept please.
I love the detailed face on the bottom picture.
ReplyDeleteGreat work on the foreshortening of the body. Hard stuff. But I think the perspective is a bit much for something as short as a body--almost like a camera distortion.
The teeth bother me--too much emphasis on teeth make me think the fish is going to bite Jonah in half rather than swallow him.
Your comment about the fly--why not? Try one with Jonah a mere speck compared to the "great fish." Or another one emphasizing that great face, letting it tell the whole story with the fish waiting mostly off the picture, like your middle one, or merely implied?
